It’s not easy planning a quick side dish that will take up practically very little time and goes well with beef or chicken. This simple egg noodles with mushrooms side dish is very satisfying with a touch of garlic and shredded Parmesan cheese. A vegetarian friend of mine makes this as a main meal with a side salad for lunch or dinner. [Read more…]

It’s officially fall, and the pumpkin flavored food craze is in full effect. You can now find just about anything and EVERYTHING in a pumpkin flavor. If you love pumpkin, I imagine you’re having a field day with all the options out there right now. And one that I think is a great feature for Fabulous Food Finds Friday is Quaker Oatmeal’s Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Instant Oatmeal. As if Quaker didn’t make enough tasty choices in their collection of instant oatmeals already, their Pumpkin Spice flavor is a wonderful addition, and is already a smashing success (it’s even being sold on eBay!). Each little convenient packet is just 4 Points Plus, making it a wonderful choice for an easy, healthy, and delicious Weight Watchers breakfast. So if you want to feel like you’re eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, I highly suggest you get out there and snag some of these before they’re gone! Though, if you have the time to cook homemade oatmeal, my Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Recipe is to DIE for, and I highly recommend trying it!!

Peanut Butter and chocolate lovers are going to LOVE today’s Fabulous Food Find. It’s PB2’s new version of powdered peanut butter with premium chocolate for just 1 Points +! Now, I know the idea of peanut butter in powdered form may have you raising an eyebrow…I did too…until I tasted it. 2 tablespoons of the powdered mix, combined with water to create a delicious, creamy and decadent chocolate peanut butter blend. Spread it on toast, fruits, veggies…the possibilities are endless. You can use Chocolate PB2 with just about any other form of liquid, like shakes and smoothies, and you can use it in baking or cooking too. It’s incredibly versatile! And at just 1 Points Plus per serving, Chocolate PB2 is a dream come true.

If you’ve ever been a fan of Fruit Roll-Ups or other fruit leathers, you are going to be super excited about today’s Fabulous Food Find! Veggie-Go’s Chewy Fruit and Vegetable Snacks are the much healthier and lighter version of store bought fruit leathers, like Fruit Roll-Ups. Now you can enjoy snacking on a tasty treat that is completely void of artificial ingredients, artificial colors, preservatives, and the other garbage that today’s foods are sadly filled with. Veggie-Go’s are organic, Non-GMO, have no added sugar, are Vegan and are 0 Points Plus each! Oh, and they are delicious. Perfect for kids’ lunch boxes or after school snacks too. I love stashing a few of these in my purse for when I need a quick, healthy treat. Keep reading to learn more…

Whether you eat Vegan or not, these tasty little frozen dessert bars from So Delicious are an absolutely delicious Weight Watchers treat! Made with coconut milk, they are dairy-free, certified vegan, certified Kosher, certified organic, certified gluten-free and Non-GMO! WOW!! That’s a lot of awesomeness packed into a sweet little frozen dessert! And not only are they creamy and delicious, but they are also just 80 calories per bar and only 2 Points Plus each. This is one dessert you can really feel good about.

Get a powerful dose of protein with Forte’s High Protein Gelato! I just discovered these at my local Sprouts store and I’m so glad I decided to pick some up. The creamy, delicious and low Points gelato, offers a fantastic 15g of protein per serving. Not only does this fantastic, sweet dessert satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, the high level of protein really helps to make you feel full. Does this mean I can eat gelato for breakfast instead of an egg!?? Just sayin’. Keep reading to learn more about Forte High Protein Gelato…

A while back, I came across this Mountain Bread in the refrigerated section at my local Whole Foods store. They looked pretty big, and the nutritional stats indicated that they were only 2 Points + per sheet. So I bought a pack, took them home, and put them to the test, and they were truly fantastic! They are thin and light, but when wrapped around your favorite light wrap fixins’, they are a perfect way to make a big, hearty wrap that is still low in Weight Watchers Points. I’ve eaten them with cold wraps, but prefer to use them with a heated wrap, like this Roasted Red Pepper Wrap. Mountain Bread has only 3 ingredients—flour, water, salt…that’s it! No yeast, no dairy, no cholesterol, no stabilizers, no added sugar, no oil, no artificial ingredients. All varieites have wheat–except Spelt. I used the Natural Mountain Bread Variety, but there are lots of others to choose from (Click HERE to see all the varieties they offer). They also have a long shelf life – 60 days at room temperaure. Freeze for up to 12 months with easy defrost and STILL GET THE 60 DAYS! Sooooo good! Keep reading to learn more…

A good friend of mine has been munching on these gimMe Organic Roasted Seaweed Snacks a lot recently, and when she told me that each pack was only 1 Points Plus, I totally understood why. I know what you are thinking though…roasted seaweed…for REAL? But when I decided to give some a try myself, I found them to be crunchy, flaky, salty, and absolutely delicious. These paper thin sheets of seaweed is the same stuff that is used in wrapping many sushi rolls. So, if you’ve had sushi, you can get an idea of the taste. Except these are crispier, and more flavored, so they make a fantastic healthy and low calorie snack to have, sans the sushi roll. Keep reading to learn more…

I’m not going to lie…sometimes I eat junk food. Food that has no nutritional value whatsoever, but just tastes flipping’ delicious. Once in a while, I just need that fix. And Marshmallow Peeps are one of my little junk food addictions. I always get so excited at Easter time when I see them all over the place, and I always treat myself to some. Recently, Peeps Minis have hit store shelves, in a variety of tasty flavors too! And so now I can get my once in a while Peeps fix with 10 little mini Peeps, for just 3-4 Points Plus. I love this idea, because, even though they are smaller than regular Peeps, eating more of them makes me feel like I’m getting more, so it’s easier for me to stop after 1 serving. They come in four great flavors to choose from: Sour Watermelon (my favorite), Vanilla Creme, Chocolate Creme and Strawberry Creme. I found them at Target, but they can be found in the candy aisle at most retailers. But please note, the Vanilla Creme flavor is exclusively at Target.

With the temperatures around 101-108 degrees here the past few days, all I want to do is eat foods that are cold and refreshing. Lucky for me, I had a few of Chloe’s Soft Serve Fruit Pops in my freezer, and they are my latest addiction. Seriously…I may need an intervention because I CANNOT STOP EATING THEM. Chloes’s Fruit Co. has a flagship store in Manhattan, NY where they offer fourteen varieties of soft serve fruit that they rotate on a seasonal basis, and now eight of which are offered in popsicle form! I’m a huge lover of popsicles, and have recommended quite a few different frozen goodies on my blog, but the things that make Chloe’s really stand out to me are the company’s incredible commitment to creating clean eating desserts that are as wholesome as you can get, and the perfectly natural taste of these popsicles. They literally have 3 ingredients: fruit, water, a touch or organic cane sugar. That’s it. Pure, simple, and absolutely delicious. Not only that, but they are free of gluten, dairy, fat and the eight other major allergens. And each one is just 2 Weight Watchers Points! Keep reading to learn more…

Admittedly, I’m one of those people who always complain about not having time for breakfast. I can manage to get my kids fed, but feeding myself is a challenge. So when I came across this Emerald Breakfast On the Go Nut! and Granola Mix at my local Walmart, I was pretty excited to give it a try! Each 5 Points Plus pouch contains a mix of nuts, dried fruit and oatmeal clusters. I grab a pack of these with a piece of fruit and my coffee, and I’m in the car in no time. They also make great snacks too! And it gets better…they come in a huge selection of delicious flavors…Apples and Cinnamon, Berry Nut Blend, S’Mores Nut Blend, Maple and Brown Sugar, Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Nut Blend, Breakfast Nut Blend, and two Coffee House Blends: Caramel Macchiato and Vanilla Latte. WHOAH.

Spring is in full swing, and I’m already getting excited for delicious, seasonal treats! One of my favorites are these All-Natural Goodpop Frozen Pops. They are unbelievably delicious, and are a great treat that I can enjoy without feeling guilty. Also, because they are made with only wholesome, natural, real ingredients, they are a great snack to share with my kids who are OBSESSED with popsicles. All-Natural Goodpop Frozen Pops range from 1-3 Points + each, depending on the flavor. And they come in seven staple flavors: The non-dairy are Watermelon Agave, Strawberry, Strawberry Lemonade, Hibiscus Mint, and the Dairy based ones are Chocolate, Banana Cinnamon, and Coldbrew Coffee…and they are all fantastic!! Additionally, they offer some seasonal flavors like: Pineapple Basil, Mango Chile, Coconut, Pina Colada, and many more! WOW!!!! Seriously, I’m in love with these. Keep reading to learn more….
